Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has documented communication failures, mass notification gaps, repeated break-ins, and security vulnerabilities during declared emergencies. Compliance pressure under MCL 380.1308b mandates timely EOP reviews and coordination with county and state emergency management offices, elevating operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
A recently awarded $19.8M state infrastructure grant frees local discretionary budget for emergency management investments, creating a near-term procurement window. Multiple aligned grant programs further support funding feasibility, making this the right moment to close preparedness gaps and meet active compliance mandates.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented notification environment across two separate systems, resulting in documented gaps where some individuals fail to receive emergency alerts. This undermines communication reliability during declared emergencies and creates compliance risk under Michigan's EOP review mandate (MCL 380.1308b).
The opportunity
A recently awarded $19.8M state infrastructure grant frees up local discretionary budget, creating a timely funding pathway for emergency communication investments. Consolidating into a unified notification system now strengthens EOP compliance, closes documented safety gaps, and improves reliable outreach to all students, staff, and families.

Physical Security · Infrastructure Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Repeated break-ins and security vulnerabilities during declared emergencies have exposed critical gaps in building access and physical security. A recent bond proposal and active state-funded infrastructure initiative signal that planning is underway, with compliance pressure and operational risk elevating urgency.
The opportunity
A $19.8M state infrastructure grant creates an immediate capital window aligned with building access and security investments, with potential to free up local discretionary funds. Acting within the current funding cycle supports phased implementation, strengthens emergency preparedness, and advances a high-priority district strategic initiative.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Coverage Expansion
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an active appellate lawsuit, documented public complaints about transportation incidents, and a fleet lacking consistent dash-camera and telematics coverage. These gaps create significant liability exposure and limit the district's ability to ensure student safety and operational accountability.
The opportunity
The COPS TEP grant presents a near-term funding pathway for fleet technology procurement, and a newly appointed Transportation Director signals institutional readiness to act. Addressing coverage gaps now reduces legal and operational risk while aligning with the current grant window and fiscal planning cycle.

Digital Equity · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing website has documented gaps in meeting WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards required under ADA, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to digital services for constituents with disabilities.
The opportunity
With a $19.8M state infrastructure grant freeing up local discretionary budget, the district has a near-term funding window to address active compliance obligations. Remediating accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk and advances equitable service delivery for all community members.
